FETTER DRIVE SCREW COMPANY 

104 JOHN STREET, NEW YORK. 



We are prepared tq,execute orders for our'celeljrated Drive Screws, made of 
Best Iron, and all sizes from ^ inch diameter up, and any Length, and confi- 
dently state that they are stronger andNvill hold 30 per cent, more in wood than' 
the Lag Screw. If the Lag. Screw is screwed in as it should be, the cost of labor 
and waste of time in doing so, are more than the value of the screw, and if a Lag 
Screw is driven in, it is almost useless and will not hold as much as a spike, 
(and the fact is that men will drive them in.) Our Screws are mad© 
to be Driven in, and by .reason of their peculiar form will then hold 
more than any Other Screw when screwed in, and are the only 
Screw that will hold firm in auy wood and in all climates. They are adopted and 
used by all the great Telegraph and Telephone Companies. 6xJ-7x^ and 7xf 
in stock. 

Put up in Kegs of 200 lbs. with washers, all sizes J inch diameter and up, 
and any lengths. Priced cents per lb.. f. o. b., N. Y. - 5 cents per lb. f. o. b., 
Pittsburgh, Pa. x 




FETTER DRIVE SCREW (POLE STEP). 

BEST EVER OFFERED. Put up in Kegs of 200 lbs. Price, 51 
cents per lb. Galvanized, 1J cents per lb. extra, f. o. b., N. Y. 5 cents per 
lb., f. o. b , Pittsburgh, Pa. 8x| in stock. 




To Railroads, Bridge and Dock Builders. 



We offer the only perfect Spike on the -market. Absolute 
SafetV tO track. They cannot pull OUt, and will hold the Kails 

firmly to the wood as long as the tie lasts. The Rails cannot spread 
or turn over when these Spikes are used. They are 

specially needed in warm climates, as they admit no moisture to the wood, and 
are the only Spike, that will hold in Cedar and Cypress. If the Kail 
is to be lifted, a half-turn of the Spike only is necessary. Half of the weight 
being sufficient they will cost no more per mile than the common Spike. They 
are specially valuable to Dock Builders. 5xf K. K. Spike in stock. 

Price 5 \ cents per lb., f. o. b., N. Y. 5 cents per lb., f. o. b., Pittsburgh, Pa. 
Discount ; on large quantities. Orders Solicited.

The Iron Aqe says editorially: "The fact that the water in the various 
streams of the New England States has been exceptionally low during this sea- 
son again directs attention to the necessity of gradually substituting steam for 
water-power. A number of causes have conspired to diminish the supply, and 
it is now reported as rapidly failing in many places. On the whole, however, 
it is probable tint with the present state of the market the drought will not be 
without beneficial effects, preventing an excessive accumulation of stock, and 
thus holding out brighter prospects for the future. At the same time the con- 
ditions may not always prove so favorable, and cases will unquestionably arise 
when the curtailment of production such as is now rendered necessary will be 
attended with serious inconvenience. It is evident that in these days of high- 
pressure business enterprises there are very few important lines of manufac- 
turing which can afford to depend upon water-power, especially as its economy 
over steam, under the most favorable conditions, is so small as to warrant a 
doubt whether it is not largely imaginary. 

^ Compabed with last year the imports of iron and lead show a heavy decline, 
while steel is coming over in much larger quantities. Tin imports are about the 
same in quantity, except as to slabs, which are increased about 20 per cent. Im- 
ports of cutlery and hardware are almost nominal. 

Although inactivity has existed in the general hardware trade during the 
past month, many experienced hardware men regard the future outlook as 
very encouraging. 

Pibacy of trade-marks has repeatedly attracted attention both here and 
abroad, but, notwithstanding the heavy penalties imposed in a few cases, the 
practice has not yet been entirely suppressed. Thus, United States Consal 
van Riper, at Moscow, Russia, in a recent report remarks that, in trying to in- 
troduce American tools at different Russian establishments, he invariably en- 
countered J* American articles" of foreign manufacture, principally from 



xjndv HAEDWABE DEALIERS* POCKET COMPANION*. 

Germany, bearing American trade-marks. Although the genuine American im- 
plements were of superior workmanship, it was found an extremely difficult 
matter to effect sales, the very much inferior imitations being offered at greatly 
lower prices. As a Kussian will always buy that which is cheapest, regardless 
of quality, it is evident that American goods in that market labor under a serious 
disadvantage. We hope, however, no effort will be made to extend our Russian 
trade by lowering the quality standard. Cut-throat trade of this kind soon be- 
comes ruinously unprofitable, and the less our manufacturers have of it the 
better for them. It would be much better to take steps to secure the adequate 
protection of their trade-marks abroad, and to build up such a trade as high- 
quality standards will command. — Iron Age. 

Responsibility of Railroads for Breaking Stoves in Transit. — In the 
case of Lee vs. St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba Railway Company, decided 
recently by the Supreme Cout of Minnesota, it appeared that the plaintiff 
shipped at Chicago, -by the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad, a carload of 
stoves consigned to himself at Moorhead, Minn, The stoves were carried over 
the Chicago and Northwestern and Omaha railroads to St. Paul, and thence 
to their destination over the defendant's line. The defendant, instead of trans- 
ferring them to its own cars at St. Paul, allowed them to be carried over its own 
road in the car in which they had been carried from Chicago, and billed them 
through in that car from St. Paul to Moorhead without opening it or inspect- 
ing the contents. When the car was opened, upon reaching its destination, 
the stoves were found to be badly broken. Plaintiff sued the defeudant for 
damages and recovered judgment. This judgment and an order denying a 
new trial were affirmed by the Supreme Court, which in the course of its 
opinion, said : " Where goods have been transported by several successive car- 
riers, and it appears that they were in good condition when delivered to the 
first carrier, the jury may presume, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, 
that the goods reached the hands of the last carrier in the same condition 
as when delivered to the first carrier on the line. This rule is founded upon 
important considerations of public policy. This rule is not modified or changed 
by the fact that the last carrier, instead of transferring the goods, transported 
them over its line-in the foreign car in which it received them. As a matter of 
convenience to the carriers themselves, this is usually done where the freight 
is reeeived in carloads for a common destination. To indulge in a different 
presumption in such cases would, as business is now conducted, practically ab- 
rogate the rule referred to. We can see no distinction in this respect between 
goods transported by the carload in a locked car and goods transported in a 
package nailed or otherwise fastened up. If there can be any difference, it 
•would be in favor of applying the rule more strictly in the former case than in 
the latter, for we see no reason why the carrier would not have the right to 
open the car for the purpose of inspecting the contents— a right which t^ey 
might not have in the case of closed packages. Of course, we are not now 
speaking of cars in transit from a foreign country in bond and under the seal 
of the United States Custom House authorities.

sat at the lathe steadily for 11 hours, cutting

who saw the work declared it equal to a 15- 
hour job in a machine shop. Taken with 
special regard to the velocipede foot motion, 
I consider the lathe without an equal."

THE American Artisan, of Chicago, improves with every issue. It is an able and

The American Artisan is probably the finest specimen of a class journal printed In 
the United States. Everything connected with this paper is first-class In every respect.— 
Gazette, Neenah, Wis. 

We are glad to note the prosperity that is attending The American artisan. It is cer- 
tainly one of the handsomest and most carefully gotten up exchanges that comes to oar

LUCAS' 



Ready Mixed Qep't. 



Having the largest line of Mixed Paints in the U.S., and greatest 
facilities to offer the trade, we invite your attention to this class of 
goods as presenting opportunities for profit far in excess of the handling 
of lead, oil, etc., on which but a mere commission is made and involv- 
ing a greater investment of capital. 

We particularly recommend those who have not heretofore handled 
paints to take hold of our Mixed Goods, either under our brands or (if 
sufficient guarantee of business resulting is given) under your own 
brands, we furnish labels, cards, etc., thus placing the dealer on an 
equal footing with the manufacturer, and preventing the competition 
which usually results from many dealers handling but one brand.

CLASSIFIED RATINGS. 



The above is the title of a book about to be issued by the National 
Mercantile Publishing Company. It is a compilation of all the mer- 
cantile agency books known, arranged in a novel and copyrighted form, 
which does away with the use of a key, and separates the Manufacturers, 
Retail Dealers, Stove and Tin Men from one another, and at the same 
time classifies each man Or firm according to his worth. That is to say, 
all the $10,000 firms are in a column to themselves ; the £25,000 firms 
to themselves, etc., etc. The whole is alphabetically arranged as to, 
towns, States and proper names. Some of the leading houses in the 
trade who have been shown the proof sheets pronounce it complete and 
JUST WHAT THEY WANTED. 

When a Hardware Dealer buys one of these Books, he pays only 
for information concerning the trade in which he is interested, as infor- 
mation concerning all other trades is left out.. The book will be ready 
for the trade January 1st, 1884, and will be sold for the low price 
of $15. 

Sent C. O. D. by express to any address. 

Before purchasing Bradstreet's, Dun's, or Ealy's, send for one of 
these books, and if it does not give entire satisfaction, it willl be taken 
back and the money refunded. We guarantee satisfaction. 

Those desiring to do so can call at the office of the Company, 254 
Broadway, and examine the proof-sheets. 

The National Mercantile Publishing Company, 



WE REACH THE TRADE! 



This Book (How and Where to Purchase Anything in the Hardware 
Trade), is published Quarterly, and has a guaranteed circulation of 
Twelve Thousand Copies, each issue, distributed amongst the Manu- 
facturers and Dealers in the Hardware, H\oxe and Tin Trades, through- 
out the United States, rendering it the best advertising medium for 
Hardware Manufacturers, etc., because all the Trade Journals com- 
bined, with their limited circulation, and which are only casually glanced 
at by the advertisers themselves, in order to ascertain whether or not 
their advertisement have been inserted properly, could aot so effectually 
reach the Trade as one issue of this Book. Advertisers desirous of 
being represented in the next issue, will please fill in and return the 
enclosed contract form signed, stating the headings under which they 
wish their name and address inserted, as per index in this book. 

The next book will be out March 1st, 1884, aijid will be a great im- 
provement upon this number. Copy for advertisements intended for that 
number should reach us as soon as possible. Special contracts made_for 
the year. [See Contract Form.]
